This unit of competency has been developed for post-trade training of advanced engineering tradespeople and the recognition of post-trade skills in applying welding principles to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements for welding procedures generally associated with the application of one of the units satisfying AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9.
This unit covers the underpinning knowledge required to satisfy AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors and includes knowledge of welding terms, codes and symbols, the effects of heat treatment on metal as it relates to welding, and the logical sequence for a welding process required to be conducted to AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors. It covers welding, planning and set up principles for a range of materials and processes.
This unit must be assessed in combination with one of the units satisfying the AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, Certificates 1-9. These units include:
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices;
- interpreting and applying statutory and safety requirements, including welding terms, codes and symbols as required by AS 1796-2001 (R2016) Certification of welders and welding supervisors, and welding codes for welding processes;
- applying appropriate pre- and post-heat treatment processes for a range of welded materials, and;
- setting up weld sequence and preparing materials in a logical manner for welding job.Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
- safe welding practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE);
- welding terminology, including codes and symbols;
- heat treatment processes and the effect of heat treatment on metal;
- logical sequence for welding processes, and;
- tools, equipment and techniques used in welding.
